About

Let me take your notes on a napkin and turn them into a work of art!

Patrick Taylor is an experienced writer and publisher. He knows the business from both the creative side and production side and has the unique ability to take your ideas, craft them into a finished work, and then publish them in the format of your choosing.

He has written for magazines and newspapers, published "how to" books, served as the managing editor of "Acts Today" magazine, and continues to write marketing and advertising copy, and is a regular contributor to his blog.

Trained early as a lithographer back in the days when they actually used paste when doing "paste ups," Patrick learned the printing trade and worked as an industrial printer with Avery-Dennison.

He studied journalism at the University of Rhode Island before setting off on a bicycle journey across the United States from Rhode Island to California.

Even though he's somewhat of a dinosaur, Patrick has learned the technical side of publishing in the digital age. He has studied under some of the legends of the Internet marketing niche, including the now retired Alex Jeffreys.

Patrick loves to teach Internet marketing concepts and technology (which he does through his "Learn With Pat" website.

He has a love for the written word, and loves the look his clients get in their eyes when they hold the book they have published in their hands....or the way a loved one lights up when presented with a volume as a gift.

It's incredible. Simply incredible.

Work Terms

COMMUNICATION:
I love e-mail and text for quick communication, but when working on a large, involved project phone or Skype seems to work best to capture subtle nuances.

PAYMENT:
Regarding payment: After a complimentary consultation, I will provide a written agreement and final cost. I will require payment in advance through PayPal.

WARRANTY:
My work is 100% guaranteed for 30 days after delivery to allow for thorough inspection of materials delivered.

In regard to content, revisions will be made until the customer is satisfied with the product.

In regard to printed matter, customers will be required to sign off that original material is to their satisfaction before mass production. No returns are allowed for content errors after sign off.

Material defects will be handled separately from content issues. (That is, if the written content is good, but there is a physical defect in the printed output, you are not entitled to 100% refund.)

The production error will be addressed through the appropriate contractor (commercial printing will be outsourced) and specific terms will be agreed upon in advance depending upon the service utilized.

My goal is 100% raving fans in my business!
